is the pizza oven wall,” featuring a beautiful slab of
Belvedere leathered quartzite, Plachter explains. “It’s
a stunner.”
The L-shaped island and its intricate waterfall
edges may be one of Kurnitsky’s favorite details
because it took a lot of careful planning and crafting
to get it right. “The material of the raised section
is a natural stone — the same amazing quartzite
as the pizza oven wall,” she says. “It’s spectacular
alongside the quartz that tops the rest of the island”
and perimeter countertops.
Similar care went into creating the contemporary
range hood, with its eye-catching brass “cuff” that
echoes the finishes in the cabinetry and lighting,
Kurnitsky says. The hood’s horizontal slat detail also
ties in with the horizontal integrated black channel
pulls on the perimeter base cabinetry.
Flush-mount appliances, a paneled Sub-Zero
refrigerator/freezer and a walk-in pantry contribute
to the kitchen’s desired clean-lined aesthetic.
Other accents — such as handmade leather cabinet
pulls — “lend an organic softness to the space,”
Plachter says. “It’s the details that elevate the
design,” she adds, from the floating chandeliers that
ground both islands to the use of wall covering and
art. “Lighting is so critical in our projects to ensure
the space ‘shines’ the way it was intended.” DNJ
